Colonies Crier Letters

The Colonies Crier is the newsletter published monthly for Co-Owners and residents of The Colonies at McLean.  There is a section titled 'We Get Letters'  and all of them that have ever appeared were only praise for the management and the overall grounds with the occasional letter commending a specific employee from the Buildings and Grounds, Custodial, Maintenance or Porter department.

Per a Meet The Candidates Event and the fact there has been much press lately about harassing emails leading three key employees based in the office to submit their resignations, there is more than enough letters to put in The Colonies Crier but yet the last two months did not have any...  Rather a double standard to only publish the positive things vs. letting the community truly know what all is really going on among the residents.  So much for democracy but then we are dealing with a General Manager who smokes like a chimney in the office, a Secretary and part-time person who plays the role of Board Member, Treasurer and Finance Committee Member who only seem to concern themselves with fighting off The Colonies Coalition.  Co-Owners should not expect much more as one reported stopping by the office one day at 4:40 PM only to find it closed (hours are 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM) but that to be expected at a place where the Board President/Boss resides in Florida.
